You should be used to it.
Anyway, just for the fuck of it, I picked one of these so-called PH.Ds and ran it through google.
Dr. Robert Sungenis a doctor of theology ( IOW - fucking worthless ) as noted above but it
led to a ten minute video on sedevacantism which is defined by Wiki as:
Quote:Sedevacantism is the position held by a minority of Traditionalist Catholics who claim that the Papal See has been vacant since either the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958 or Pope John XXIII in 1963.
Sedevacantists believe that Paul VI (1963–1978), John Paul I (1978), John Paul II (1978–2005) and Benedict XVI (since 2005) have been neither true Catholics nor true Popes, by virtue of allegedly having espoused the heresy of Modernism, or of having otherwise denied or contradicted solemnly defined Catholic dogmas. Some of them classify John XXIII (1958–1963) also as a Modernist antipope.
In other words, they are a group of catholics who are even stupider than regular catholics. Mind-boggling.

So it would seem....

They arent theologians, they are fundamentist Americans. No serious theologian would argue against Galileo (Yes, Paradic, I understand this is a logical fallacy, however, if any theologian does believe the church was right, they should loose their degree in theology and get medication)
Do you have a doctorate in theology?
if not then they are the relative 'experts' and better qualified than you to comment on theology dont you think.
I wouldnt go up to a dr in physics and tell him he is wrong about his specialist subject because I thought in my relatively ill informed way that he is wrong.
On the other hand theology is the study of nothing. Just a null subject so its all moot anyway.

Garnering scientific information from physics, astrophysics, astronomy and other sciences, Galileo Was Wrong shows that the debate between Galileo and the Catholic Church was much more than a difference of opinion about the interpretation of Scripture.
Scientific evidence available to us within the last 100 years that was not available during Galileo's confrontation shows that the Church's position on the immobility of the Earth is not only scientifically supportable, but it is the most stable model of the universe and the one which best answers all the evidence we see in the cosmos.

I won't accept that either but it's starting to seem like a reality.
